The devil wears Gucci, and damns us all.
Yesterday the Anti Poverty Women's Committee staged an occupation of Finance Minister Carole Taylor's office to draw attention to the BC Liberals' ongoing neglect of the province's poor. The news of the occupation interrupted Taylor's pre-budget Marie Antoinette turn with the ever-fawning media synchophants, who praised the poor little dear for re-using the same pair of shoes from her budget speech last year.
If you'll notice in the link, the CBC has already whitewashed Taylor's reaction (their former boss still appears to have her well-manicured fingers on the right buttons), stating that "most people in the province don't believe aggressive demonstrations are the way to talk about serious issues." Watching Canada Now at 6:00 PM PST last night, this page distinctly heard the Finance Minister say "These kind of protests should be condemned."
NON-VIOLENT PROTESTS SHOULD BE CONDEMNED??! If a small group of women sitting on the floor of Ms. Taylor's office armlocked together warrants being "condemned", what rhetorical ammunition would the Finance Minister have left if the growing Resistance to the Liberals' agenda of manipulation, greed, and hatred resulted in her office being trashed, or worse, blown to pieces? The use of the term "Condemned" doesn't really leave the aggrieved party anywhere to go.
Memo to the Finance Minister: Stop acting like a spoiled little girl playing dress-up games, and put on some responsibility with a nice matching conscience for a change.
